What do my GeniusPulse Score and metrics mean?

Modified on Tue, 15 Sep at 10:52 AM

Your GeniusPulse Score is one number for your overall brain function, compared with where you started and with people your age. It is measured while your brain performs a standardized task, and it captures both the electrical activity in your brain, timed to the millisecond, and your performance on that task. Higher is better, out of 200.


Your first assessment sets your baseline, and it never moves. From your second assessment on, your Score shows how far you have come since.


The Score is not a brain age. For how it relates to a BrainYears assessment in clinic, see "What's the difference between a BrainYears Assessment and a GeniusPulse Assessment?"


The four metrics sit alongside your Score. Each is shown with its value in real units and its percentile against your age-matched norm, alongside your own baseline.


Processing Speed. Your overall speed of thinking. Your brain is answering the question "What should I do about it?"


Reaction Time. How quickly you respond by physically pressing the button.


Overall Accuracy. How often you respond correctly. Reflects the overall reliability of your cognitive processing chain.


Response Consistency. How steady your response speed stays from moment to moment. A higher percentage means a more even, predictable rhythm.
